Waterfront Investments Built to Perform.

At Vantage Point Realty Advisors, we see marinas as more than waterfront infrastructure — they’re underutilized lifestyle assets with powerful investment potential. Our marina investment strategy targets properties in high-demand coastal and intracoastal markets, where boating culture, tourism, and land scarcity converge.

We acquire and reposition marina assets to generate stable cash flow, elevate user experience, and unlock long-term real estate value.

Strategic Coastal Markets

Our primary focus is on marinas in:

  • Florida’s Atlantic and Gulf Coasts

  • Emerging lifestyle markets along the Intracoastal Waterway

  • Tourism-driven destinations with limited waterfront inventory

We prioritize assets near high-net-worth communities, resort destinations, and growing recreational boating hubs.

Our Investment Approach

We pursue both existing marinas and mixed-use waterfront sites that offer room for repositioning, expansion, or redevelopment.

Core Strategies:

  • Acquire underperforming or undercapitalized marinas

  • Rebrand and enhance operations and amenities

  • Add high-margin ancillary services (dry storage, fuel, repairs, F&B, retail)

  • Evaluate air rights, upland development potential, and joint venture opportunities

Why Marinas?

  • Scarce Asset Class: Coastal real estate with dockage rights is limited and highly protected

  • Stable Demand: Recreational boating and coastal tourism continue to grow

  • Sticky Revenue: Slip rentals and boat storage offer high retention and low churn

  • Ancillary Upside: High-margin services boost NOI and property value

Returns + Long-Term Value

  • Marinas offer a unique blend of:

    • Cash Flow through dockage, storage, fuel, and service income

    • Appreciation through capital improvements and upland development

    • Exit Optionality via sale, refinance, or conversion to mixed-use waterfront assets
